CD Reviews

Yes, a masterpiece

Sabaziotatos | Silicon Valley | 06/23/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"One of the greatest jazz sessions ever recorded. There are no weak links here: each player is the 20th century master of his instrument. Listen to the educated brush work and sheer energy of a young Buddy Rich. Was there ever a jazz musician who could deconstruct a melody so inventively as Art Tatum? And who can refrain from moaning right along with Lionel Hampton as he streams his waterfalls of notes from the vibraharp? IMHO, the cover of Makin' Whoopee is one of the top 3 jazz takes of all time. It's a terrible shame this CD is not more widely available."
